No the watch has to have an iphone to set it up and communicate with.

Can you use a watch without owning an iphone? I would like to purchase an Apple Watch SE for my granddaughter but nobody in her household has an iPhone. My granddaughter goes have an iPad so does she need an iPhone, get away with pairing it to her iPad, or it will not function without?
